So what, he uses Twitter to fight back. He doesn’t appear as “presidential” as the RHINO Bush. Look at what he’s accomplished. It’s tremendous.

I've never seen this country as divided as it is now in my lifetime. I guess that's your idea of tremendous.

Trust me, we were just as divided over lazy do-nothing Obama. Republicans and conservatives behaved like adults and didn’t throw hissy fits like children.

Long rant withheld. Tie for some respect of our elected officials and each other. The boat show was cancelled an so should be this thread.

You're not seriously going to compare the treatment of Trump versus Obama? Especially by the mainstream press. For every incident you can claim for Obama I could show a hundred for Trump.

Referring to a former President as lazy-do nothing Obama and thinking this is adult behavior shows me what's wrong. I wish more were willing to lead by example rather than rhetoric.

My hope is that the much maligned millennials are able to step up and restore civility both in politics and everyday life. As long as the "adults" of today are unable or unwilling to see, let alone accept, any role they might have played or are continuing to play in the current toxic state in our great country, there will never be change. Instead, periodically there will be a shift in which party is in power, continued toxic rhetoric, and no meaningful, sustainable actions which will help us grow stronger not just today but for years to come. Maybe the millennials can't do it. Thus far, those of us in older generations have made things worse. And yes I know, it's not me, it's the other side. (That was meant to be both sarcastic and cynical)

Obama was lazy. Other than destroying healthcare what did he do? Give hundreds of millions of dollars to Iran for some meaningless treaty? Join the Paris climate accord so we could systematically destroy our energy advantage? He did NOTHING.

A list of Trump's accomplishments:

•Almost 4 million jobs created since election.
•More Americans are now employed than ever recorded before in our history.
•Created more than 400,000 manufacturing jobs.
•Manufacturing jobs growing at the fastest rate in more than THREE DECADES.
•Economic growth last quarter hit 4.2 percent.
•New unemployment claims recently hit a 49-year low.
•Median household income has hit highest level ever recorded.
•African-American unemployment has recently achieved the lowest rate ever recorded.
•Hispanic-American unemployment is at the lowest rate ever recorded.
•Asian-American unemployment recently achieved the lowest rate ever recorded.
•Women’s unemployment recently reached the lowest rate in 65 years.
•Youth unemployment has recently hit the lowest rate in nearly half a century.
•Lowest unemployment rate ever recorded for Americans without a high school diploma.
•Veterans’ unemployment recently reached its lowest rate in nearly 20 years.
•Almost 3.9 million Americans have been lifted off food stamps since the election.
•The Pledge to America’s Workers has resulted in employers committing to train more than 4 million Americans.
•95 percent of U.S. manufacturers are optimistic about the future—the highest ever.
•Retail sales surged last month, up another 6 percent over last year.
•Signed the biggest package of tax cuts and reforms in history. After tax cuts, over $300 billion poured back in to the U.S. in the first quarter alone.
•As a result of the tax bill, small businesses will have the lowest top marginal tax rate in more than 80 years.
•Opened ANWR and approved Keystone XL and Dakota Access Pipelines.
•Record number of regulations eliminated.
•Enacted regulatory relief for community banks and credit unions.
•Obamacare individual mandate penalty GONE.

This is just a partial list. Two conservative supreme court justices are at the top of my list. You can say what you want about Trump, but he's a workaholic and a doer. By the way, I thought Bush was lazy too.

And that’s all the president’s fault? Nothing to do with the media, especially social media or the opposing side. It take two to tango and is this case 3. They are ALL to blame no one is innocent and politicians and the media willingly divide the country to achieve their objective of winning an election and gaining personal wealth at the expense of the people. Only one thing can save our system now. TERM LIMITS FOR ALL ELECTED OFFICIALS
